Busha, one of Africa’s leading digital asset exchanges and stablecoin infrastructure providers, highlighted the transformative potential of stablecoins for cross-border trade and economic integration at the Africa Tech Summit (ATS) in Nairobi. The company’s leadership emphasized the role of digital financial infrastructure in connecting African businesses to the global economy.
At the summit, Busha’s Chief Operating Officer, Moyo Sodipo, participated in a high-level panel titled “Connecting to the Global Economy: How Stablecoins Are Solving Real African Problems.” Sodipo argued that the narrative around digital assets in Africa should move beyond trading and speculation toward real-world applications such as payroll, trade settlement, and institutional partnerships.
He underscored the importance of blockchain transparency in building trust, enabling clear transaction documentation, traceability, and monitoring. Sodipo also advocated for the development of more locally issued stablecoins to reduce reliance on foreign alternatives and called for closer collaboration between traditional financial institutions and digital asset exchanges. According to him, true success in a stablecoin-powered economy will be measured by Africa’s ability to facilitate seamless movement of money and value across its financial ecosystem.
Beyond the panel discussions, Busha hosted an exclusive networking event, “After The Summit,” in partnership with global stablecoin issuer Tether. Senior Tether officials in Africa, including Arnoud d’Yve de Bavay, Head of Expansion Africa; Mabuti Mutua, Head of Regulatory Affairs and Licensing in Africa; and George Mosomi, Head of Expansion Kenya, attended alongside Busha executives. The event highlighted their joint commitment to promoting stablecoin adoption in emerging markets and enhancing Africa’s integration into the global digital economy.
Through its Busha Business platform, the company continues to support enterprises, fintechs, and institutions operating across Africa by providing secure, compliant access to digital assets and stablecoin-powered solutions. Busha’s participation at the Africa Tech Summit reinforces its mission to power Africa’s engagement with global trade through innovative and trusted financial infrastructure.
